This settlement, orchestrated by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche—Trump’s former personal attorney—also establishes a $1.8 billion fund, financed by taxpayers, to compensate individuals who claim they were mistreated by the Biden Justice Department, including some January 6th defendants. Blanche faced critical questioning from senators regarding potential eligibility of those charged with assaulting police officers for this fund. Additionally, the article notes ongoing Republican efforts to allocate $1 billion in taxpayer funds for security related to Trump’s new ballroom. [Extracted from the article] |
